The white haired monk person is called Uraume. They're a Sukuna ally. There's not much to say beyond that since we haven't seen them much.

Yeah I remember seeing Urame a grand total of one time, when Sukuna took over Itadori's body a bit back. It's clear that Urame is on Sukuna's side though.

I enjoyed it quite a lot, personally. It definitely feels like one that'd be a miss if you're not super into the various series it touches upon, though.

That was a weird ending, they didn't even use the time machine to fix earth. But at least it ended as batshit crazy as it lived.

I don't know, I thought there was something sweet about it. I couldn't care less about most of the series referenced, but this felt like the Mangaka was just trying to pay tribute to great mangaka he/she looked up to. I didn't like previous chapter much though, but I never read Promised Neverland.





Moriking has the weirdest cliffhanger and I assume it's also ending. Good thing as well.

:lol: at Agravity Boys's super-abrupt ending. It tried setting up some stuff like Geralt lying to Monica or the time machine, and never did anything with it.

Magu-chan continues to be pretty sweet, and I really liked the interactions between Magu and Ruru's mom. I can see where Ruru gets her personality from.

I like Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective as a murder mystery series, but seriously dislike Ron despite being the main character. It's like the author forgot to give him any personality in favor of making him as LOL-i'm-so-quirky as possible.

I liked Magu this week as well. It's so silly how every just glosses over his destroyer being.
I thought it was also a very sweet touch how mom pointed out the friendship book was a gift from her to Ruru to help her make friends.

the mangaka of roboco previously did an official parody manga for promised neverland. it was really funny, though probably less so if you haven't read the original. so, it was equal parts a tribute and a wink and nudge to go buy his earlier work.

Magu-chan isn't the best manga in jump and it isn't the funniest, but it's really cute and really wholesome. It's a feel good series that isn't eyerollingly sweet.

5 counts of possession and distribution yeah. At least it's not that big of a deal for the franchise to replace one translator with another, even if it might affect the style and tone of the translation .

it calls him the "previous" translator so i assume he was let go before this happened.

I think a lot of the time it isn't being good/indispensable at your job, it's that if your boss lets you go it's an admission that they screwed up by not properly vetting you before you were hired. As soon as the allegations are made, the only favorable outcome for your superior is for the whole thing to be papered over and forgotten, so that's what they automatically aim for.

While the netflix adaptation left a lot to be desired. Alice in Borderland Retry is everything I could have asked for in a continuation as far as writing goes. There's a reason I loath any hearts game and it's for moments that lead to these kind of faces.

It has also been confirmed to end after the 2nd volume so there's not much more left to tell. It's loving bullshit that dealers even exist for these games and at this point I'm certain that every single hearts game can have all participants survive in the group doesn't explode on impact.

Edit: Except for the 7 of hearts. That's just cruel

Apparently the author said it was only ever intended to be a short series to promote the Netflix series.

Reading Jujutsu Kaisen finally, and I've hit the point where they've stopped calling Cursed Techniques and Cursed Energy, now they're Jutsushiki and Juryoku and it's driving me insane. Does this last long or will it go back to being easily readable?

I like how this series ended up with him getting a different partner who isn't the most predictable female lead from the very beginning of the series.

I hope protagonist isn't a dumbass and doesn't try to sneak off and do the thing, though I feel like his partner wouldn't stand for that so I doubt it'll happen. If I were the teacher I'd try to contact the competition in advance about it or something, since the competition would probably be able to reject a minor contestant like that.

Apparently Yoh has a new voice actress in the remake for some reason (almost everyone else is back though, including Megumi Hayashibara as Anna). It’s not great in my opinion but maybe she’ll improve as the series goes on.

When’s that series supposed to start again?
